TheCityFix.com is a US-based online resource for sustainable transport news, research and “best practice” solutions from around the world. Launched in 2007, the site connects a global network of writers and transport specialists, including engineers, entrepreneurs, urban planners and researchers, who explore environmentally and socially responsible ways to make cities better places to live.
The blog is produced by EMBARQ, a non-profit program of the World Resources Institute that works to catalyse and help implement environmentally and financially sustainable transport solutions to improve quality of life in cities.
Since 2002, the EMBARQ global network has grown to include five centres, based in Brazil, Mexico, India, Turkey and the Andean Region, that work together with local transport authorities to reduce pollution, improve public health, and create safe, accessible and attractive urban public spaces. The network employs more than 100 experts in fields ranging from architecture to air quality management; geography to journalism; and sociology to civil and transport engineering.
TheCityFix relies on this international community and other volunteers to provide a global, multi-disciplinary perspective to its coverage of local sustainable urban transport.
